[LW11] NMEA input on ST5000+
Advice please!
I'm looking to fit a NASA electromagnetic log (EML-2) to replace a standard analogue paddlewheel log . The EML-2 has NMEA 0183 output only - sending VHW (speed through water) messages. My problem is how to get these messages to the ST60 tridata depth/speed display. This is connected to the other instruments - including a ST5000+ autopilot head - via Seatalk. The ST5000+ has a NMEA input but I can't find out if it forwards received NMEA messages to other connected Seatalk devices. Some certainly do but the information on the ST5000+ is vague. I asked Raymarine tech support - their response was: "The ST5000 is a very old autopilot so I would not be able to give you absolute assurance it will translate all NMEA0183 messages. We don’t have a unit here to test out unfortunately" I could buy the Actisense NWG-1 converter to translate NMEA to Seatalk but this costs as much as the EML-2! NASAmarine might be making a NMEA2000 compatible device in future (which I could plug in to the STng network). Does anyone out there have an ST5000+ using the NMEA input? |
